I have tried to insatll Business Contacts Manager. I am using Outlook 2003
and XPP.

When I open outlook I get the BCM startup wizard asking me to select a
database. I have created a new database and then tried to select it. The
next screen then says 'upgrade your BCM' and wants to store a backup of the
database.

Backing up appears to start until I get a message saying 'Error - database
migration was unsuccessful'. Clicking OK returns me to the previosu step
(i.e no further forward).

Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi

For the above stated error message you would have to uninstall BCMV2 and
restore it back to BCMV1 once you have done the same,once this is done you
would have to backup teh data as a .msbcm file by going to file > business
data base >backup data base.Once you have the backup create you can update
to BCM V2 and restore the data by going to Business Tools > Restore data
base.Let me know if you have any concerns

Btw this happen if is an invalid entry in the way BCM stores data

Hope this helps
